owner, Mr. Ken Forster, which stated "that individual land owners should be

zero -lot -line development. MS. BETS JOHNSON questioned any zoning change
that might occur and was advised that there would be no change in zoning.
MR. SCOTT ARNDT spoke of subdividing the lot into two 3,600 square -foot
lots. He questioned whether the whole issue had been addressed by the
Code. A discussion ensued regarding square -footage requirements in the
event of "adding on" to the subdivided parcel. Thirty-six hundred square
feet are required for each dwelling unit in a Two -Family Residential
District; therefore, each half of the parcel could not support an
additional dwelling unit.

Case 83-140, a request for a variance from Section 17.19.030(B), Lot Width,

KIBS225442
A deed restriction was recommended preventing the lots from being
developed other than as a "single" zero -lot -line duplex and off-street
parking was recommended to be at street level. Mr. Newcombe concurred with
these recommendations. MR. HILL commented that Engineering had recommended
final approval of this preliminary subdivision.

Lots 1B through 1K; and Lots 8, 9, 10 and 11, Block 6, Miller Point Alaska
Subdivision, First Addition, submitted by the Community Development
Department.
MR. BRIGGS announced that he was disqualified due to a conflict of
interest and stepped down from his seat.
DR. KEVIN CREELMAN, neighboring lot owner, was concerned with the
impact on adjacent lots if this rezone was recommended for approval. He
questioned the origination of the request and MS. FREED explained that the
proposal for the rezoning came from the Planning Commission, not from any
of the property owners in the area; and, justification for the proposed
rezoning is, with water and sewer service being provided, higher -density
population is warranted. Dr. Creelman was in opposition of the rezoning.
MR. DAN SEATON, owner of Lot 11, Block 6, Miller Point Alaska Sub-
division, requested his lot be rezoned to Business. MR. HILL suggested
that the Commission take his request up at a later date. Mr. Seaton then
stated that he was in favor of this rezoning request.
MR. GARY REED, who rents space 4 on Lot 1B, asked the Commission if
these two proposed rezone areas could be separated and dealt with
'— individually, as Lots 1B through 1K are already dense enough and rezoning
the area would allow for more units and impact the area. MS. FREED
explained that rezoning would not necessarily increase the density and that
there are square -footage requirements for each unit that are cumulative for
the multiple dwelling. Mr. Reed expressed that he was in opposition of the
rezoning.
MR. PAT BRIGGS, owner of Lot 9, spoke in favor of the rezoning.
MR. HILL closed the Public Hearing and opened the Regular Meeting.
MS. FREED explained to the Commission that this was one rezoning case with
the same case number, but two separate files were opened to facilitate
Regular Meeting - 3 - November 16, 1983
KIBS225443
filing and future reference. It was decided to identify the areas as 9A
and 9B, respectively, in the motion.
MRS. STRICKERT MOVED TO APPROVE CASE 83-142, Item 9A, a request to
rezone Lots 1B through 1K, U.S. Survey 3462, from Rural Residential to
Multifamily Residential District, submitted by the Community Development
Department. MR. GREGG seconded the motion and the question was called. The
motion CARRIED by unanimous roll call vote. MRS. STRICKERT MOVED TO
APPROVE CASE 83-142, Item 9B, a request to rezone Lots 8, 9, 10, and 11
from Rural Residential to Multifamily Residential District, submitted by
the Community Development Department. MR. GREGG seconded the motion and
the question was called. The motion CARRIED by unanimous roll call vote.
(Per Code, proposed rezoning will be forwarded to the Borough Assembly.)
10. PUBLIC HEARING ON CASE S-83-051. Preliminary subdivision of Lot 9,
Block 6, Miller Point Alaska Subdivision, First Addition, to: Lots 9A
through 9F, Block 6, Miller Point Alaska Subdivision, First Addition,
U.S. Survey 3462, submitted by Leonard P. Briggs.
MR. BRIGGS announced that he was disqualified due to a conflict of
interest and stepped down from his seat. It was established that the
rezoning of this property is not official until the Borough Assembly grants
approval.
MR. BRIGGS spoke before the Commission in favor of granting approval
of this preliminary subdivision.
MR. KEVIN CREELMAN expressed opposition to this preliminary sub-
division. His concerns were against duplexes or triplexes going in beside
his property and for property value. His desire was to see the area remain
single-family homes with decent -sized yards and not see more of a
"Naughton's trailer court."
r' DAVE CROWE reported to the Commission that 42 Public Notices were sent
out and no comments were returned.
MS. FREED did explain for Dr. Creelman and other neighbors in the area
the rezoning process, emphasizing that there will be one more public
hearing before the Assembly. At that time, concerned parties have the
opportunity to express themselves to the Assembly, because the Assembly has
final say on the rezoning issue.
MR. HILL closed the Public Hearing and opened the Regular Meeting.
MR. JAMES commented that not only are water and sewer going to be
available, but also a major arterial. As there is very little R3 property
on major arterials, Mr. James believed this to be a good area, better than
rezoning an area on a lesser -used road, causing problems with the road
surface and access to the R3 property. Hill concurred with that.
MR. JAMES MOVE TO APPROVE Case S-83-051 preliminary subdivision of
Lot 9, Block 6, Miller Point Alaska Subdivision, First Addition, to:
Lots 9A through 9F, Block 6, Miller Point Alaska Subdivision, First

on Item #6 of the staff memo, which asked for utility easements across
city -owned land directly behind the proposed lots of this subdivision.
Research found an easement on adjacent Lot 2 and Lot 1 which could be used
to provide utility easements to the property. Mr. Anderson spoke to KEA
engineers and they approved his research. Mr. Anderson sub-
mitted this information to the Commission.

property owners in the area, in opposition, who were concerned with water
rights, septic systems, and pollution.
MR. MELVIN KORTLEVER, property owner of Lot 3, Block 4, directly below
the lot in question, voiced concern with the amount of surface water that
runs off onto Kalsin Drive. The water runs through the berm and cuts a
channel through Mr. Kortlever's property. Pictures were submitted to the
Commission. Mr. Kortlever stated not being opposed to the subdivision as
long as the owners can provided adequate drainage in the area. His concern
was that serious erosion problems could develop in the area if the lots are
subdivided.
THE COMMISSION and Mr. Kortlever discussed the pictures that were
submitted and various options for controlling the run-off water.
MS. PATRICIA LODS, Lot 4A, Block 4, submitted a letter of opposition
and pictures, and read the letter into the record. Ms. Lods voiced
concerns similar to Mr. Kortlever's. She urged that the land be divided
into large lots only (five -acre lots), minimizing heavy population,
preserving the valley ecology, and that no septics be permitted which do
not discharge class-B drinkable water.
MRS. NANCY DOYLE, property owner of Lot 4B-1, lives directly below the
property in question and voiced her opposition due to septic systems and
drainage problems. Mrs. Doyle's letter was read into the record.
MRS. ROBERTA LOCHMAN, property owner of Lot 3, Block 2, spoke in favor
of the preliminary subdivision request. Ms. Lochman concurred with
Mr. Hill and Mr. Gregg in their feeling that the drainage problem would be
there without the subdivision. Also in favor was MR. DENNIS SMEDLY,
adjacent property owner, who spoke of subdividing in the future.
Mr. Smedly felt the water drainage might have been due to the installation
of power lines.
MR. HILL closed the Public Hearing and opened the Regular Meeting.
He stated as a matter of record that sanitation has to be approved by ADEC
and that ADEC does take into consideration everyone's water rights. Mr. Hill
feels it is up to the Service District to take care of roads out there and
not the individual developer. For run-off, there are other avenues to
take.

possible solutions, including a loop road through the two lots.

Ms. Freed and Mr. Crowe and came up with an acceptable alternative plan.

be no reason not to grant preliminary approval of the subdivision.
Mr. Crowe asked that it be noted on the preliminary approval that the
utility plans for the sewer system be presented prior to or with the final
plats for review.
MR. HILL closed the Regular Meeting and opened the Public Hearing.

U.S. Survey 3474 from Conservation to RR2, submitted by the Community
Regular Meeting KIBS225447 7 - November 16, 1983
Development Department, and tabled from October 19, 1983. MRS. STRICKERT
seconded and the motion FAILED unanimously.
19. NEW BUSINESS:
A. Capital Improvement Program 1984-1989.
MS. FREED reported that the handout to the Commissioners was based on
an Assembly work session, held on November 15, 1983, and was a draft
priority list. The intent was to get all local government in the area to
adopt one list, which included projects for the borough, city, villages,
and state (funded for the state through departmental agencies). The list
was going to a work session November 17, 1983. Ms. Freed recommended that
the Commission move to approve the draft and to recommend that the city
council adopt this list, or at least adopt the procedure of adopting one
list.
MRS. STRICKERT MOVED TO APPROVE the Capital Improvement Program 1984-
1989, per the memo handed out November 16, 1983, and make a recommendation
that the City Council also approve this priority list. Mr. Gregg seconded

roll call vote.
20. COMMUNICATION: There were no additional communications.
21. ADDITIONAL AUDIENCE COMMENTS.
MRS. ROBERTA LOCHMAN commented to Mr. James that she had worked very
hard and to the letter on recommendations, codes, and laws, to make this a
nice subdivision with well -laid -out lots. She further commented that a lot
of money had been spent on surveys and getting this thing in order so that
it is really well done. Recommendations such as retaining walls and
hundreds of feet of road at about $120 per foot is really prohibitive to
the average citizen and hinders the average citizen in developing or
building or doing anything with their property. Not being a land
developer, Mrs. Lochman felt that recommendations such as this really
hinder people in the borough.
DR. JOHN EUFEMIO requested final approval of a subdivision that has
already received preliminary approval. MS. FREED quoted Section 16.12.030,
Borough Code, "The final plat shall comply with the requirements of Section
16.16.020 and shall be submitted to the borough clerk not less than
fourteen days prior to a regular meeting of the planning commission."
MR. CROWE stated he does like to have the opportunity to review the plats
before they are acted upon. The Commission decided to hold a special
meeting on December 1, 1983, at 7 p.m., to approve Dr. Eufemio's plat.
MR. DENNIS SMEDLY praised the Commission for their professionalism in
handling the meeting, stating it was a real pleasure to witness them in
action.
22. CHAIRMAN'S REPORT: There was no Chairman's Report.
23. COMMITTEE REPORTS:
r—
MR. BRIGGS reported that the Parks Committee was out of money. The
committee is working with the borough on next year's proposals.
24. COMMISSIONER'S COMMENTS:
MR. BRIGGS commented that he would not be at the next work session.
MRS. STRICKERT commented that she would not be here next month as she
was not "re -upping" for her seat on the Commission. She added that this
past two years has been a real learning experience for her.
KIBS225448
Regular Meeting - 8 - November 16, 1983
MR. GREGG asked MS. FREED what the schedule looked like for the next
couple of months. MS. FREED reported the next work session, November 30,
will be for review of the Mobile Home Ordinance, although no comments had
been received from the rest of the Commissioners. There is no work session
scheduled for next Wednesday, November 23, and no additional work sessions
have been scheduled for the month of December, although this could be
discussed at the November 30 meeting.
MR. GREGG asked what loose ends need to be taken care of. MS. FREED
reported that staff will be working on a zero -lot -line ordinance, getting
examples of other ordinances from other municipalities to tie up some of
i� the concerns expressed by the community and the Commissioners. Mr. Gregg's
concern was that the work to be done on the zero -lot -line ordinance not get
"dropped through the cracks," and definitely should be worked on before
next spring. He felt there would be more requests for zero -lot -line
development coming in. MS. FREED agreed and suggested that any information
on the ordinance be presented at the packet review December 14. A work
session could be scheduled in January to deal with it specifically.
Ms. Freed reported that the next Regular Meeting is scheduled for
December 21, and that she would be tentatively leaving town late that
night, but would be able to attend some of the meeting.
MR. GREGG requested Engineering department to summarize the concerns
as far as water quality and reporting to ADEC regarding the Lochman
subdivision.
MR. JAMES stated this was the second CIP he has seen since he has been
on the Commission and suggested input on which roads get paved in what
order, what sewer and water projects get done in what order, and making up
a list to be submitted to the Assembly showing that the Commission is
trying to plan ahead for orderly expansion as a planning commission.
25. DEPARTMENTAL REPORTS:
MS. FREED reported that the Planning and Zoning representatives for
the months of November and December are Mrs. Strickert and Mr. Hill,
respectively. Also, the appointments for the Assembly positions should be
made at the December 1 Assembly meeting. There were two additional
handouts for the Commissioners: last month's packet material; and copies
of two chapters of the city of Kodiak's harbor plans (Near Island and the
